2. Hello Vishal, Thank you for this fix for Edge. Worked the moment I finished your instruction. Best regards.

3. Does NOT work for me on EDGE.

4. So if you want to use X, you have no choice but to accept tracking!!!! what have they done with our free world?

5. Worked on my Edge 124.0.2478.80 64bit

   THANKS!

6. I still have issues with being non responsive even after turning off blocking tracking. Any other suggestions?

7. website opened, but nothing is showing. has Retry everywhere. Any other suggestions? I at least got to the website. I’m not having any problems with app, but this is past annoying

8. Thank you, this worked on Edge.

17. Worked on Edge. Thanks a million.

18. thanks

19. Thankyou

20. Thank you – searched a dozen answers, this was the only one that worked.

21. Unfortunately, didn’t work for me running Firefox v126.0 in Windows 11 64-bit machine.
    Anything else we can try?

22. To anyone who is still facing the issue, the solution is disable No-Tracking and then canceling the reload request from the page, since it will be in loop for a couple of minutes. After that, you will be able to see the login button in the bottom of the page. Proceed to login normally and after that, you should enable it (no-tracking) again, since it created successfully the session token, it will guarantee proper working again.

23. Great blog. TY 😊

24. UPDATE:
    For me, disabling Enhanced Tracking Protection didn’t solve the problem.
    What did solve the issue was disabling the “Disconnect” Firefox add-on. As soon as I unblocked the Twitter/X website id this add-no, the website loaded normally.
    Hope this helps some folks that are still struggling with this issue!

25. Please add to your knowledge base that it is ALL protection from any product, not just specifically X/Twitter protection. This means you need to turn off any provider’s tracking or VPN. Thanks ever so.

26. I promised I’d let you know if I was able to get into the PC platform of X. Since I’d logged out of my providers tracking service yesterday, I was surprised that my accounts could get past the screen frames this morning. I then went into tracking and it apparently opens at startup. So people also need to make sure that their tracking doesn’t open at startup OR just open tracking, see that it is enabled again and log out. Then, in both Edge with MS Chrome and with Google Chrome, you see all functions normal in X. Yes, agreed that when X migrated to its “new” PC platform, it is now having “compatibility” issues with trackers. For 2 reasons: It must be affecting the ads that are a part of the revenue sharing mechanism so that their people using that aren’t making much and because X no longer, itself, wants to offer ANY “protection” because it impedes whatever monetization IT receives. Please feel free to read and delete. Just wanted you to be aware because it certainly affects your business too. Keep your online service going, please, because it’s one of the very few places where average users can get a more complete picture of why our systems do what the do, even when it’s nonsensical.

27. ** FOUND SOLUTION **
    It’s been 5 days I have not been able to use Firefox to log-in Twitter. It hangs in a loop trying to load the pop-up window to sign-in. The same in Brave Browser. No Problem in Microsoft Edge.
    Turning Off the Enhanced Protection in Firefox by the search top window for Twitter HAD NO EFFECT. Still unable to sign-in Twitter.
    I went to settings on Firefox and turn off ALL PROTECTION options under Browser Privacy ==> Same problem Unable to sign-in on Twitter.
    Started to turn-Off ALL Extensions for Firefox ===> Problem Solved -Able to Sign-in Twitter

    Started to TURN-On the Extensions ,one-by-one. I have quite a few Privacy Extensions Ghostery,Privacy Badger,Google Analytics Blocker,Start Page Private Search Engine,Winscribe Proxy Add Blocker,DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, Plus other Translate Pages etc. => Twitter worked with all these Extensions turn-On PLUS WITH Firefox Enhanced Protection Turn-on for Twitter (contrary to the above solution) Including with the Firefox Settings Strict for Privacy
    In my case the culprit was an extension called StartPage Privacy Protection
    You can try to systematically Turn-On & Off the extensions & clearing your cookies and reloading Twitter to see what see what is interfering
    -Good Luck-

28. Sp33dy comment May 22, 2024 at 3:26 pm solved it for me! I’m delighted –

    Sp33dy “For me, disabling Enhanced Tracking Protection didn’t solve the problem.” Nor me.
    Sp33dy “What did solve the issue was disabling the “Disconnect” Firefox add-on.” Me too!

    Many thanks everyone – it’s good to read all possible solutions

29. Thank you, Sp33dy May 22, 2024 at 3:26 pm
    It works.

30. In my case I tried all the fixes mentioned here and still no joy. Then I went through my Edge extensions and turned off Norton Anti-Tracking and it started working. There’s an option to allow trackers for that specific website, and once I chose that option, I have X back.
